FINGER-PENCIL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 20, 1921.

Application filed November 8, 1920. Serial No. 422,650.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMoGENEs MaNUnL, a citizen of Philippine Islands, residing at Cebu Cebu, Philippine Islands, have 1nvented new and useful Improvements in F inger-Pencils, of which the following 1s a specification.

An object of the present invention is the production of a writing implement which can be permanently attached to the forefinger, or another finger of the user, so that the implement will not be mislaid.

A further object is the productionof a writing implement which includes a casing that is desi ned to surround and to be clamped on t e finger of the user and which has an extension in the nature of a barrel that receives therein the lead stick, while means is provided for retaining the body of the stick in the barrel and the point thereof at a desired projection out-ward of the barrel.

Other objects and advantages will present themselves as the nature of the invention is better understood, reference being had to the drawings accompanying this specification and forming a part thereof.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the application of the improvement.

Fig. 2 is an approximately central vertical longitudinal sectional View through the improvement.

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view approximately on the line 33 of Fig. 1.

As disclosed by-the drawings, my improvement contemplates the employment of a casing 1. The casing may be made of any desired material, metal preferred, and is of a shape corresponding with the forefinger of a person.

The casing. from its open end is provided with a substantially V-shaped slit 2, and on the edges of the slit are outstanding ears 3 and 4 respectively. These ears are provided with threaded o 'enings through which passes a screw 5. The outer end of the casing is tapered or pointed, as at 6, and in the said tapered end there is centrally arranged a barrel 7. The barrel, at determined intervals is provided with openings, as is the tapered portion 6 of the casing. These last mentioned openings are threaded, and recelve therethrough threaded elements, such as screws or bolts 8. In the casing and at the inner end of the barrel 7 there is an abutment plate 9 against which the top end of the users finger contacts. In the barrel there is a marking element such as a stick of lead 10. The screws 8 are adjusted to bind against the marking element 10 so as to hold the point thereof at a desired position outward of the'barrel.

It is thought that the foregoing description, when taken in connection with the drawings, will fully set forth the construc tion, simplicity and advantages of the device without further detailed description.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim, is 2- 1. A finger pencil including a casing having a slit side at one of its ends and its opposite end tapered, clamping means between the edges provided by the slit, a barrel in the opposite end of the casing, an abutment between the barrel and casing, said barrel designed to receive therein a writing stick, and adjustable means for retaining the stick in the barrel.

2. In a finger pencil, a casing having one of its ends tapered and its opposite end provided with a substantially V-shaped slit entering one side thereof, offset elements on the edges of the slit, binding means between said elements, an abutment wall in the casing, a barrel extending therefrom and communicating with the open tapered end of the casing, spaced adjustable screws between the tapered end of the casingand the bore of the barrel, and a writing stick in and projecting outward of the barrel and contacted by the screws.

I n testirnon whereof I afiix my signature.
